< Letters of Julian

73. To Maximinus[1]

I have given orders that there shall be ships at Cenchreae.[2] The number of these you will learn from the governor of the Hellenes,[3] but as to how you are to discharge your commission you may now hear from me. It must be without bribery and without delay. I will myself, with the help of the gods, see that you do not repent of having done your duty as I have indicated.
